Chapter 27: First time rebelling

Realization crossed across Inez’s expression as she started to struggle against Dominic’s hold. She gave him a hard look and said to him, "Let go of me, Dominic."

However, the man didn’t let go of her hand. He pulled her across the table and nearly slammed her hand on the inkpad. Her eyes flared with anger as she placed her foot against the leg of the table and pulled her hand back before it could touch the ink pad.

She might be a half shifter but she was one nonetheless. Her pride was just as strong as any dominant female shifter, and Inez didn’t like how Dominic was dragging her around like a rag doll. She stared at his eyes, but she could not find any guilt for the humiliation and pain he had brought her yesterday.

It only infuriated Inez.

"I said let go," she snarled at him. Her eyes were burning with small flames as Inez pulled her hand away from Dominic. She would have liked to say a hell lot of things to him but Inez knew that this was not the time to listen to her heart but her head.

Dominic stared at her as if he found the entire thing tiring and a bit amusing. Like a big bad wolf teasing a rabbit before closing onto her and taking a bite out of her neck. "You know you can never beat me, Inez. So might as well just get this done with."

After speaking, he pulled her harshly, almost dislocating her shoulder.

"NO! I DON’T WANT THIS."

Inez felt her siren side stir. Her eyes flashed with a hint of golden specks, something neither Inez nor Dominic noticed because of their tussle. However, the command that left her lips made Dominic loosen his grip on her wrist.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, Inez flicked his hand away and rushed past the table. She knew that the chances of her escaping were small but she would rather take them instead of letting herself be tied with the same restraints that she had allowed to bind her foolishly for years.

"Inez Sinclair!"

Dominic didn’t understand how and why he let go of Inez but the second he snapped out of the haze, he turned around and chased after her. He didn’t know why he did it; he just knew that he couldn’t let her leave.

He knew that the reason Inez was acting so rebellious was because she knew what he had done yesterday and as much as Dominic wished to explain the happenings, he didn’t want to. His pride to bring this woman to her knees and break her until she could no longer stay sane anymore was holding him back.

Dominic wished Inez to go through the same pain that he went through when his sister died.

So, he held back, but at the same time, when he heard Inez say that she was resigning, that she was leaving the cage that he had built for her, Dominic couldn’t help but feel a surge of annoyance.

The panic and sense of breathlessness that had been nudging him since yesterday came hurtling and crashed right against his lungs until he found it was getting hard to breathe.

Inez heard his roar and she knew that Dominic was more than just pissed but she didn’t stop. Instead, she picked up her pace and sped up.

Upon reaching the door of the office, she pulled it open and rushed outside. She didn’t even see where she was going; she just wanted to get away from Dominic.

He might have washed Evelyn’s scent off him, but Inez could still smell that nauseating scent on him as if it had smoothed itself over Dominic’s skin. It made her want to hurl everything that she had eaten. Her head was throbbing, and her throat was rolling.

She felt like she was about to pass out.

BANG!

Inez collided with a hard wall of muscles and sheer strength. However, the scent didn’t make her feel disgusted; if anything, it soothed her anxious self and calmed her down. She raised her head and looked at Killian, who stood in front of her and swallowed hard.

"Hello there," Killian greeted her. There was a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

Noticing the glint in his eyes as if he was looking at a toy with which he could play for a while because he was bored, Inez felt spooked. She stepped back but stiffened when she heard the sound of footsteps behind her.

"Come here, Inez." Dominic stood behind her like a statue of barely contained rage, right behind her. Something about her standing so close to Killian made Dominic’s wolf growl in defiance and anger. All these years, the two of them had been perfectly in sync with one another, but at that moment, Dominic felt his wolf rebel.

Everyone in the office turned to look at Inez in confusion, contempt and mockery. The massive amount of attention made her tense. To her surprise, Killian, who stood behind her, stepped forward and almost covered her with his massive build. Now, Inez was as proud as any dominant female, but at that moment, her heart surged with an unknown emotion.

When was the last time someone other than Scarlet had stepped forward to protect her? Inez was certain that it didn’t happen. Not even once.

And that was when the realisation struck her. She was all alone in this pack for the last three years. The feeling was excruciating, almost painful to the point where she couldn’t breathe.

What was she even doing here? Inez couldn’t help but wonder. She should have left this pack ages ago. But she had been foolish and greedy, wanting to take her friends back from the vindictive, greedy and unhinged tramp. She was sure that her best friends, at least Dominic, would see through her lies.

But now Inez felt like a clown. She was trying to take back something that was never hers to begin with, because if these men were her true friends, then they would have never made her go through so much suffering.

They didn’t do that. Instead, they isolated Inez to the point where she became miserable and alone. And they all watched the show while sitting in the front seat.
